Aleemah Aziz has dealt with each tenant query or request for repairs most efficiently; confirming each time what is agreed as the works required and then following up and confirming that works are complete; sometimes with photographic evidence. Excellent service throughout. Thank you Aleemah.

TrustpilotMy experience with John Shepherdβ¦
My experience with John Shepherd Lettings has been appalling. They completely oversold their ability to manage the property and dramatically overestimated the achievable rent. In reality the property ended up letting for around 50% less than what they originally quoted, after I was pressurised into accepting a last-minute tenancy at a grossly deflated rate.

TrustpilotLauren is absolutely fab!!
I had a great experience with Lauren Foster from the John Shepherd team as she helped us with arranging to have a pet in our tenancy. It can be a bit nerve-wracking asking for a pet but from the the first interaction Lauren was friendly, supportive, and helpful in her approach and was just as enthused when our Landlord agreed as we were!! Our emails were responded to quickly and she was able to pass on all information efficiently. An absolute star π and we hope to have more interactions with her in the future

TrustpilotAvoid John Shepherd at all costs!
Avoid John Shepherd at all costs. Very unprofessional service!
My experience with John Shepherd was one of the most stressful, time-consuming, and costly experiences I have ever had.
When I needed to leave my tenancy early, I tried to do everything properly, including finding a replacement tenant myself. Instead of being given clear guidance on the process, I was met with confusing information, aggressive and intimidating correspondence, inconsistent financial figures, repeated payment demands, and constant references to court action and County Court Judgments while the amounts being claimed were still being disputed.
Different members of staff gave me different balances, charges appeared and later disappeared without explanation, and supporting evidence for some charges was only provided after I repeatedly requested it and raised formal complaints. Communication was poor, confusing, disrespectful and unnecessarily pressuring,throughout.
After taking my complaint through John Shepherd's complaints process and then to The Property Ombudsman, the Ombudsman recognised shortcomings in their communication, accepted that the inconsistent figures caused avoidable confusion, aggravation and inconvenience, and the agent increased its goodwill compensation following the Ombudsman's involvement.
The entire process took months, caused unnecessary stress, wasted a huge amount of my time, and had a real impact on my studies and work.
Based on my experience, I would never use John Shepherd again and would strongly advise others to think very carefully before renting through them.

TrustpilotI have found John Shepherd to beβ¦
I have found John Shepherd to be extremely unprofessional throughout my tenancy. We moved into our property in early 2026, and from the very beginning it became clear that resolving even the simplest issues would be a lengthy and frustrating process.
It regularly takes weeks just to receive a response regarding reported faults, and months for issues to be addressed, if they are dealt with at all. Communication is poor, updates are infrequent, and there appears to be very little urgency when it comes to resolving problems that affect tenants.
Unfortunately, I do not feel that John Shepherd has its tenantsβ best interests at heart. Rather than being proactive and supportive, they seem reluctant to take responsibility or act promptly when faults are reported. As tenants paying for a property and a service, this level of customer care is unacceptable.
Overall, my experience has been extremely disappointing. I would not recommend John Shepherd based on the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and excessive delays in resolving maintenance issues. I hope they take steps to improve their service and place greater importance on supporting their tenants.

TrustpilotArun Singh - Fantastic.
I've worked alongside Arun on a number of jobs in a contractor capacity and it's always been a positive experience. He's approachable, easy to communicate with and keeps everything well organised, which makes life much easier for contractors on site.
He's quick to respond, provides clear instructions and is always fair and professional in the way he manages projects. Any issues that come up are dealt with promptly, helping jobs run smoothly from start to finish.
He not only offers assistance on his own jobs but also helps with any queries I have on other jobs with other Property Managers.
Could not fault him - one of the best.
